This is an pretty intricate song. The lyrics are much more complex than one might think, they are actually a social commentary on the marital system in early elizabethan society. It's allegorical nature refers not only to the well known Shakespearean play, but also refers to several different playwrites who were contemporaries of the brilliant poet. The complex lyrics are mirrored by the songs unparalleled use of circular picking techniques and creative chord progressions. An impressive feat.
